Setting Preshared key password results in "Field must have a Value"

Hi There,

I am in a call with a customer where they would like to change a remote VPN endpoint IP on their pair of SMB 1590s ;

The GUI prompts you to enter the preshared key to which I receive the error that the "Field Must have a value"

I have seen on occurrence of this before on the boards and the advice was to try via the command Line thinking that issue could be a UI or web browser issue; which I did but to my suprise I still see the following:

Gatekeeper1> set vpn site ITIM auth-method preshared-secret password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Could not set vpn site password: Field must have a value

Has anyone experienced this before at all, and if so what was the resolution?

Thanks and Regards

Derek

Hi all,

Just to update this one. It turns out, after further investigation, that the problem seems to related to the amount free space in the /tmp filesystem which is set to 20Mb

The log files soon fill this. I will need to check if I have any debug on to reduce usage here.

But when I went into expert mode I saw the following warning:

Gatekeeper2> expert
env: standard output: No space left on device

[Expert@Gatekeeper2]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 20.0M 20.0M 0 100% /tmp

......

Once /tmp cleared down:

Gatekeeper2> set vpn site TST auth-method preshared-secret password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gatekeeper2>

And it also works from the UI

Hopefully this will help anyone who hits this issue in the future

Thanks

Derek
